Roth has the distinction of being the only living writer included in the venerable Library of America series. This sixth installment of his collected works features two novels: 1993's Operation Shylock and 1995's Sabbath's Theater. Shylock is most unusual in that Roth uses himself as both the antagonist and the protagonist: a man impersonating Roth is touring Israel, and the real Roth goes after him. The comic Sabbath's Theater is more straightforward. This double edition is being released to coincide with the publication of his forthcoming novel, NEMESIS. Your hardcovers should be shot by now, so replace them with this single volume and save a couple of fazools.
